    Nicely done my friend! I don’t know about you, but the tasty childhood snack I’m craving now is smores!
    No official swearing in yet at an English monastery, but I did spend the past weekend paying my respects to another worthy Chaplin…a Monsieur Dom Perignon if you will. God bless the monks who kept us in fine thirst!

    God bless the monks and the chalk soils of Champagne. I’ll keep an eye on the mailbox for the baggie of juice you smuggled from the Perignon caves. Cheers.

    I just returned form Berlin and while there tried, I believe, Franziskaner Dunkelweizen. My companion and I both thought the aroma and taste were strongly of cloves. Am I thinking of the wrong beer? I loved it, by the way.

    Hi Art,
    Thanks for writing in and stoked to hear you had a beer adventure in Berlin. I mean could there be a better city for one?

    Although I’m not positive, my guess is you actually had the Franziskaner Hefe-Weiss Hell, which being much lighter in color than a dunkel, is also known for its intense nose of cloves.
